Georgia Bottoms
Georgia Bottoms: A Novel | Mark Childress
4 posts | 8 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
Georgia Bottoms is known in her small community of Six Points, Alabama, as a beautiful, well-to-do, and devoutly Baptist Southern belle. Nobody realizes that the family fortune has long since disappeared, and a determinedly single woman like Georgia needs an alternative, and discreet, means of income. In Georgia's case it is six well-heeled lovers-one for each day of the week, with Mondays off-none of whom knows about the others. But when the married preacher who has been coming to call (Saturdays) decides to confess their affair in front of the whole congregation, Georgia must take drastic measures to stop him. In GEORGIA BOTTOMS, Mark Childress proves once again his unmistakable skill for combining the hilarious and the absurd to reveal the inner workings of the rebellious human heart.

#3books I hated

Georgia Bottoms with the fire of 1,000 suns. Self centered, racist, has a half black son, calls her brother Brother like it's his name, has affairs with 6 married men - one for each day of the week with a day of rest - and when the last point is revealed there is no true backlash or lesson learned. This made me feel stabby.

The Jungle was required reading. No 13 year old cares about a meat factory.

Northanger Abbey - 😴🙄😴

TheBookHippie The Jungle just NO! 😩 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @TheBookHippie I remember thinking the chaos about the people weren't totally awful but even at 40, the prospect of reading about bad working conditions just doesn't sound something. Who thought that was good required reading?! 4y

Pickpick

Don't read the synopsis above. Too many spoilers. Just enjoy this sassy, sexy Southern woman who finds unique ways to make a living, enjoy life, and keep secrets. Complicating things are her racist mother with dementia, a do-nothing brother, and a variety of complicated relationships. You'll drool over her preparations for her yearly luncheons. A light read in some respects, but also social commentary prompting self-reflection and awareness.
